Gorgeously illustrated with Rick Allen's elegant block prints, this Newbery Honor Book is filled with the sounds of a summer night and the movements of small creatures, in poems for all ages from the author of the Caldecott Honor Book Song of the Water Boatmen and Other Pond Poems. The primrose moth, the horned owl, the cricket, the bat, the porcupine, the lowly snail and mushroom, and even the moon itself are portrayed in verse, with nature notes in sidebars.
